Not much of an update.

Got most plates primed and shiny. Does any one have a great tutorial for knees?

Knees are pretty straightforward, that is if you don't want the knee darts. And even doing knee darts isn't that bad

The basic knee however you just cut out the main plate and shape it just like any other plate. Granted with knees it is good to go for a couple of systems to keep them in place, the elastic strap around the back comboed with snaps or velcro will keep them in place and help to stop them from wandering off to weird places as you walk around.

So I attempted to make some knees... they are a little warped but with the damage I'm going to add they should be fine. ;D

Any one have good tips on how to hide clamshell joints?

Might need to sand down the shoulder plates a little more, that looks like patches of unsanded bondo.

It is.... but there is a method to the madness.... ;)
Also it's supisingly thin...5 min of sanding and I lose the texture I want. I need to mount them so I can get the flow right...

Sorry for the double post but I have an update I promise....
Added a significant amount of grime last night

Still need to work on the rust a bit

Needs a touch more on this one..

Really proud of the grime on this piece...

Need more grime up around the top and bottom to get it to match the neck...
